    Welcome, RdkingUSA, much of mpg for your truck will apply to the Prius ... easy driving ... andicipating the next red light / stop sign ... kind of like driving as though your brakes had just failed. We'd all drive a bit more carefull if that were the case. There's a bunch more, but that's plenty for the time being. Many take the apporach, "JUST DRIVE it". And that works too - unless you think you're Kyle Petty. :p

    You DO drive the Prius year round don't you? The Prius is not ideal to not drive for months at a time.
